Trapping of small mammals was conducted at 5 study sites in Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KSNP) from 20-24 June 2005. A total of 11 animals comprising 2 species of rodents, Maxomys whiteheadi and Rattus exulans were caught from 3 sites, i.e from an area of mixed secondary forest and mangrove swamp; an area of mangrove swamp, and from an area of lalang fringing mangrove swamp. From these animals, the following 7 species of ectoparasites were found: Laelaps echidninus, Laelaps nuttalli, Ascoschoengastia indica, Leptotrombidium deliense, Hoplopleura pectinata, Hoplopleura pacifica and Polyplax spinulosa. One of the ectoparasites found, L. deliense is a known vector of scrub typhus and thus may pose potential health risks to visitors to KSNP.
2005年6月20日至24日，在瓜拉雪兰莪自然公园（KSNP）的5个研究地点开展了小型哺乳动物诱捕工作。从3个地点共捕获了11只动物，包括2种啮齿动物，即白腹鼠（Maxomys whiteheadi）和斯氏家鼠（Rattus exulans），这3个地点分别是一片次生林与红树林沼泽混合区域、一片红树林沼泽区域以及一片沿红树林沼泽生长的粽叶芦区域。在这些动物身上发现了以下7种体外寄生虫：印度厉螨（Laelaps echidninus）、纳氏厉螨（Laelaps nuttalli）、印度阿斯科恙螨（Ascoschoengastia indica）、地里纤恙螨（Leptotrombidium deliense）、栉齿姬鼠蚤（Hoplopleura pectinata）、太平洋姬鼠蚤（Hoplopleura pacifica）和多刺多板蚤（Polyplax spinulosa）。所发现的体外寄生虫之一，地里纤恙螨是已知的恙虫病媒介，因此可能会给瓜拉雪兰莪自然公园的游客带来潜在健康风险。
